Hey guys,
Just letting you know we have finished upgrading to Wordpress 2.5, this doesn’t really mean much in terms of how you see the site, it’s mainly updated features for the ACP by the looks of it.
During the upgrade we had about 5 minutes downtime because I deleted a file I wasn’t meant to however all is fixed now.
Enjoy.
Wolfson Microelectronics, the Edinburgh microchip designer, has suffered a significant setback after losing its contract to supply components for the Apple iPod Touch and iPod Nano.
Failure to renew the deal, which analysts believe accounts for at least 15 per cent of Wolfson’s revenue, led to the Scottish group’s share price dropping by a third in early trading yesterday. Wolfson will continue to provide audio chips for Apple’s iPhone.
Its shares tumbled by as much as 30 per cent to a three-and-a-half-year low of 99p, recovering to 116p by the close, down 26p on the day.
Apple’s withdrawal is the latest blow in a year that has seen Wolfson’s shares fall by almost two thirds. They hit a record high of 560p in June 2006.
The company was considered the bright spark of the UK technology sector when it floated in October 2003, with contracts to supply parts for devices such as the X-Box, Tom-Tom satellite navigation systems and Samsung handsets.

Apple has released iPod Reset Utility 1.0.3 which is an updated version of the tool that is used to reset iPhone shuffles to their original condition, it’s available via download on Apple.com.
The reset utility can restore first and second generation iPods back to their factory condition, this is good if for some reason iTunes no longer detects your iPod, it does however wipe all the data off your iPod which kinda sucks but ah well. It’s designed to work only on the first and generation iPod shuffles.
Once it has been reset, software version 1.0.4 or 1.0.5 (depending on the generation of your ipod) will be installed onto your iPod and you’ll be good to go again.
Ruddy Ugarte was fed up of using his fingers on the touch screen for the on screen keyboard on his iPhone that he decided to create a great addition to the iPhone, it’s name is MyTouchKeys and what it is is a transparent screen protector that goes over your iPhone screen to prevent smudging and it comes with cut-outs for the QWERTY keyboard.
They are sold in packs of two and you can get yours for just $7.99
Microsoft recently told Fortune magazine that it is looking at developing software for the iPhone.
It was only inevitable that Microsoft would be trying to cash in on the popularity of the iPhone, especially after the release of the iPhone SDK. The iPhone SDK gives Microsoft the opportunity to jump on the millions of people using the iPhone without having to work with Apple, at least directly. The SDK gives Microsoft the ability to produce suites of Office and other applications for the iPhone.
A 17 year old Antioch resident was robbed of his iPod at gun point on Monday behind a Wal-Mart.
The teenager was simple walking home, and was walking behind the Wal-Mart store when he was confronted by the four men at approximately 9:30PM, one of the suspects then pulled a gun out and stole the victims iPod.
Luckily noone was injured in the robbery, the police said.
Both iPods and iPhones have been the latest hit for robbers to try steal, police said and are warning people to be very careful of where they go with their iPods.
All three NYC stores were fresh out of iPhones yesterday, says Te Huffington Post. Managers or staff from all the stores confirmed that were out of iPhones and did not know when new ones would be in. A store rep did say that you could still go online and get them that way. Perhaps it’s quite possible Apple may be clearing there stock for a new iPhone, with 3G.
We have just noticed here at iPhoneYabber that we have little posts about Jailbreaking, so we’ve taken his into consideration and over the next few days we’ll be posting content relating to jailbreaking, along as the usual Apple, iPhone and iPod news etc.
To start off, if you have just bought your iPhone or iPod Touch you may be wondering why the hell should I Jailbreak it? Well continue reading,
Jailbreaking your iPhone does void your warranty though, so only do it if you really want to (it is worth it 
), say you found a really cool iPhone app on the net and you wanted it so much but you couldn’t have it, you’d be pretty pissed off right? Well Jailbreaking will solve that problem for you!
Version 2.0 of the popular iPhone’s firmware, which is due to be launched in June this year, could turn the device into an indispensable medical tool in hospitals.
Doctors are quite optimistic about the new version of the mobile phone as it could serve as an electronic alternative for the old-fashioned clipboard and X-ray light box.
According to Adam Flanders, director of informatics at Thomas Jefferson University and an expert in medical imaging, “If you could use the gesture-based way of manipulating images on the iPhone and actually manipulate a stack of X-rays or CT scans, that would be a huge selling point.”

Hey there, this is Jason’s twin brother Jake.
Jason asked me to pen a quick column on Apple rumors, so here goes… Released products are fine, but what about what’s coming out next week, next month or next quarter? Here’s a fun Friday peek into Apple’s labs, skunkworks and dumpsters.
Unlimited music. This rumor has been around since I was walking my pet dinosaur. This go around is courtesy of the Financial Time (via Mac Rumors). Word is that Apple is considering an unlimited music option for iPod and iPhones in which the cost of music is embedded into the cost of the device itself. The all-you-can eat model allegedly being mulled by Apple is different than the music subscription services offered by AOL, Napster, Rhapsody, Virgin and Yahoo where you pay a monthly fee for unlimited downloads and the music expires if you stop paying courtesy of Microsoft’s PlayForSure DRM
3-D display hardware. Imagine Leopard. In 3D. Apple’s patent filing on autostereoscopy display technology could put three-dimensional images visible by multiple users without the need for special headgear or glasses on a Cinema Display near you. Alioscopy is nothing new, NEC already makes a 3D panel. Perhaps this is what’s holding up the new Apple monitors? Shhh, don’t tell my brother, he just bought a Dell 22-inch panel.
Double-sided panels. I’m not much of a flip phone guy, I prefer the candy bar format but according to more Apple patent filings, Apple could be heading in that direction. This latest filing discusses several uses for a “capacitive array element [that] may be a dual-sided panel that is capable of sensing touch from either side.” Suitably vague as usual but either way, a two-sided touch panel sounds pretty sweet to me.
